Abstract: 10,388. Lorrain, J. G., [Wentworth A. T.]. June 6. Addressing-machines.-Fig. 3 shows a sectional elevation of the apparatus by which a paper strip with a series of addresses printed upon it is fed from a reel 41, and pasted, cut, and the cut-off address slip pressed upon the package &c. to be addressed. In the sides 1 of the open casing or frame of the apparatus are formed vertical slots 8 guiding the ends of a platen-bar 9, which, when depressed, operates to cut off the projecting-piece of the pasted strip and press it on to the package &c. The bar 9 operates against a fixed inclined cutter-bar 11, towards which the bar 9 is pressed, as it descends, by springs 19 fixed at 20. The platen 9 is raised by a spring 24, and is depressed by sliding rods 21 connected to it and engaged at their upper ends by a crosshead or plate 27 carried by the depressible end of a plate 28 forming part of a handle 32, 33 pivoted at 31 to the upward extension 5 of the casing 1. A spring bolt 34, sliding in the handle, projects into a slot in the upward extension 4 of the casing, and, on withdrawing this bolt by means of its finger-piece, the handle may be swung over to give access to the parts in the casing. The end of the paper strip is held on the reel 41 by a rod 44 in a groove in the barrel of the reel, and a clip plate 46 fixed at one edge to the barrel projects over the rod groove. The spindle 42 of the reel is removable, and a spring at one end of it puts a brake upon it. The strip passes between a roller 51 and a roller 50 in spring-pressed bearings 52, thence over a pasting-roller 74 and guide-strips 87, and under guide-rods 88, 89. The rollers 50, 51, and 74 are geared together to rotate in unison, and the roller 51 is intermittently rotated by a pawl having a lateral projection engaging either of a pair of ratchet-wheels, of different pitch, on the shaft of the roller 51. The pawl is pivoted on one end of a lever pivoted to the casing, and connected at its other end by a slotted link to a stud on one end of the platen bar 9. The roller 74 works against the spout 79 of the paste receptacle 77, which is provided with a spring lid 78, and is removably held in place in the casing by a spring hook or clip 80,83 on the paste receptacle engaging a projection 85 on the casing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Spirit Lamps for use with Incandescence Mantles and the like.
Inventor: CHRISTEN FRANZ
Filed: 1901-10-01
Granted: 1902-11-01
Abstract: 19,595. Christen, F., and Aschner, F. H. Oct. 1. Incandescent spirit lamps.-To prevent the burner from becoming heated and the transmission of beat therefrom, and to improve the action of the flame upon the mantle, the wick c, when the lamp is in use, is raised nearly to the top of the cylinder h, through which the whole of the outer air supply is made to pass. The flame is thus kept well above the upper end of the wick-tube a, which remains cool. A tube k, open at its upper end and having lateral perforations l, may, especially in large burners, be arranged within the central airsupply tube. The air ascending this tube remains cooler than that in the surrounding annulus, and, expanding when it leaves the upper end of the tube, forces the flame outwards on to the lower end of the mantle. A flame spreader may be used with large burners.

Patent GB-190200853-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or pertaining to Shuttle-changing Mechanism and Stop-motions, of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: STAERCKE AUGUSTE DE
Filed: 1902-01-11
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 853. Staercke, A. de, and Staercke, V. de. Jan. 11. Loom shuttlechanging mechanism; stop-motions; take-up motions.- A drop-box A is connected by rods 15 to a rack 14 which engages with a pinion 13 mounted on a shaft 5. The pinion 13 is rotated when the weft breaks or otherwise fails, so as to cause the box A to bring a full shuttle into working position. The shaft 5 carries a disc 6, having pins 7, and a disc 7, and a disc 8, having recesses 9 equal in number to the pins 7, and engaging with a spring- pressed stop 10. A lever 23, to which a swinging motion is given by a slotted crank 24 on the tappet shaft 25, is formed with a projection 38 adapted to strike the pins on the disc 6 ; this lever, which is directed by a guide 27, is normally held out of contact with the pins 7 by means of a chain 28, lever 29, rod 34<a>, arms 35, 37 mounted on a shaft 33, and a spring 36. When the weft breaks, or the shuttle is exhausted, the weft-fork mechanism is actuated in the usual way, and rotates the shaft 33 so as to cause the lever 23 to be depressed and engage with one of the pins 7, for the purpose of raising the box A. During the changing of the shuttles, the pawl of the take-up motion is held out of engagement with its wheel by an arm attached to the shaft 33. A bent arm 55 on the rack 14 raises the lever 23 slightly after every upward movement of the rack, and, when the last shuttle has come into use, the lever 23 will have been raised to such a height by the arm 55, that, at the next operation of the weft-fork, the lever can no longer strike the pins 7. It then becomes necessary to stop the loom, and this is effected automatically by means of a chain, one end of which is attached to the loom handle and the other end to a pulley, rotated at every operation of the weft-fork mechanism by a ratchet-wheel and pawl. This pawl is carried by a pivoted lever operated by an arm on the shaft 33. The length of the chain is such that, when the lever 23 has been raised so that it can no longer strike the pins 7, the chain will have been wound up ready to pull upon the loom handle at the next operation of the weft-fork mechanism. This stop-motion may also be applied to looms having circular boxes. When a shuttle does not reach its box at the proper time, the button forces back a frog, which is similar to those used in looms with fixed reeds, and is secured to a spring ; the frog has an extension piece which bears against the loom handle and serves to stop the loom.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising or Lifting Sewage or Water or other Liquids by Compressed Air.
Inventor: ENOCK ARTHUR GUY
Filed: 1902-08-28
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 18,875. Enock, A. G., and Coombs, J. A. Aug. 28. Direct air - pressure apparatus.-R el ate s to apparatus for raising sewage and water or other liquid automatically by means of com - pressed air. Figs. 1 and 3 show sectional elevations, and Fig. 2 a plan, of the arrangement. The vessel A is connected directly to the inlet valve C and delivery valve D at the same end. The apron E forms a seal between the air space in the vessel and that in the inlet. The delivery valve D is arranged at a lower level so that solids may gravitate past it. The floats H, K are mounted on a lever M connected by a spindle to an outside lever P, which is connected by a pitch chain passing over a sprocket-wheel Y to a balance weight W. The wheel Y works the inlet and exhaust valve R. The method adopted of mounting the floats prevents any increase of air pressure from affecting their motion. The vessel A projects into the ground through the wall of the enclosure T ; this allows the enclosure to be made small, and yet the vessel A to be as large as required. In operation, the sewage flows into the vessel A through the inlet pipe X, until it is nearly full, when the floats rise and so open the valve R to the compressed air. The compressed air enters through the pipe S and forces the sewage out until the float again falls ; this shuts off the compressed air and opens to exhaust, when the cycle recommences. Other drawings accompanying the Specification show a combination of a pair of such ejectors.
